theianmonster Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Here's my '71 240Z. Picked her up for $900 in late January from a buddy after I wrecked my '72 and have been doing a lot of work to it since. About 90% rust free, has a few good things done to it. - L28 Swap (Not for long, biiig plans). - R200 Rear End - Tokico Illumina Shocks - Eibach Pro Springs - 15x7 +4 Hayashi Mesh (225/50R - 215/50F) - Rear Sway - Nismo Steering Couplers - Nismo T/C Kit - Refurbished stock seats - Dino Steering Wheel - MSA Type III Air Dam (Modified) She's going to be torn down this winter for next years drifting season. I'll keep you guys updated. By the way, this is my third Z. Had a '72 (Spent three years on her, wrecked it after two weeks, damn), and had a '73 parts car. I've been working on Z's for the past four years! Thanks, and looks like a good group of guys here! - Ian. Quote Link to comment

theianmonster Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Thank you for all the kind words. I need to get my hands on another Datsun for a daily driver, but I've got no extra cash right now. After surfing the boards, definitely considering a Datsun truck, or of course my favorite, 510.

Bleach Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 if youre short on cash then a 510 is out of the question. I like the Z. looks like a good start for your drifting project. Better start looking for an LSD now and save up a grand. Those things are expensive and hard to find for the older Z's 1970-89. Quote Link to comment
theianmonster Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I've got the LSD already, but after I swap the motor out, I'm getting a KAAZ 2-way from DriftOffice in Auburn. I've got it all planned out. Quote Link to comment
SHADY280 Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 hey nice z, get some video up and going when you start the drifting. and just send me your lsd when you replace it. ill take good care of it and put it a nice home! Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 If you're drifting just weld that diff. ;) Did wonders in my beater 510... Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Oh, and bitchin' ride... Makes me want another Z... Quote Link to comment
KA620 Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 hell of a deal for $900. Very lucky to find any deals like that anymore on a 240 or for that matter a 280z that even looks that good... Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 I saw the Z in person a couple days ago. No engine in it right now... importer was giving him trouble so his new engine isn't ready yet. :( Quote Link to comment
